VICTORIA- The Kinks

G D G C G D G

D G

Long ago life was clean

C G

Sex was bad and obscene

D G

And the rich were so mean

D G

Stately homes for the Lords

C G

Croquet lawns, village greens

D G

Victoria was my queen

CHORUS:

G D Em Bm D G

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

I was born, lucky me

In a land that I love

Though I am poor, I am free

When I grow I shall fight

For this land I shall die

Let her sun never set ...CHORUS TWICE

BRIDGE:

Em D

Land of hope and gloria

D C

Land of my Victoria

Em D

Land of hope and gloria

D C

Land of my Victoria

D G

Victoria, toria

SOLO (OVER VERSE CHORDS)

CHORUS (hold the first two "Victoria"s longer)

Canada to India

Australia to Cornwall

Singapore to Hong Kong

From the West to the East

From the rich to the poor

Victoria loved them all ...CHORUS

G D Em Bm D G

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria---------
